HARRY R. JONES, O'F MARCUS HOOK, PENNSYLVANIA.

POWDER PUFF.

Application filed April 2, 1923. Serial No. 629,460.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HARRY R. (forms, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marcus Hook, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Powder Puffs, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to produce a powder pufi in the nature of a pouch having frames secured to the open ends thereof and means for clamping the frames together, one of the sides of the pouch being of soft material that is practicall nonporous and with a. light nap such, or instance, as chamois skin, the other side being of soft, flufiy pervious material such as eiderdown, the pouch designed to receive therein a quantity of powder, the chamois being designed to remove the gloss from the users face and the eiderdown permitting the powder to pass therethrough to apply the same on the face of the user.

The drawings which accompany and form part of this application illustrate a satisfactory embodiment of the improvement reduced to practice, and in WlllCl1Z-- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improvement.

Figure 2 is a rear elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 33 of Figure 1.

The body of my improvement is round in plan and is in the nature of a pouch. The pouch comprises two faces of different material, one of the faces 1, being preferably of chamois skin, or some soft textile, with light nap and which is practically nonporous. The second face 2 is of some soft 'fiufi'y material pervious, but not having large pores. This face is preferably in the nature of a sheet of elderdown. Both sheets 1 and 2 are stitched together and then turned inside out so that no stitches will appear on the completed article. The open edges provided by the sides of the pouch have secured thereon metal frames 3 which have their ends hingedly connected, as at 4, and both of the frames arecentrally provided with interengaging latching means such as curved fingers having ball heads, as illustrated bv the drawings.

With my improvement a determined quantity may be arranged in the pouch and because of the close weave of the face 2 none of the powder will escape when pressure is exerted against this face of the pouch.

It is of course to be understood that the latched frames hold the pouch closed. The face 1 of the pouch is employed for removing gloss or perspiration from the face of the user while a light tap delivered on the face of the user by the side 2 of the pouch will cause a determined quantity of powder to permeate through the pores of this face of the pouch, and the same maybe rubbed on the face of the user by the fleecy outer covering on this side or face of the pouch.

Having described my invention I claim 1- A powder puff comprising a pair of members of similar outline stitched together along part of their edges to provide a pouch having a filling opening, one of said members being of soft non-pervious material and the other of said members being of pervious material, a frame member secured to the free edge of each of said members at said filling opening, said frame members at their ends hinged together, and said frame members having coacting means for holding the frame members in contact with the filling opening closed.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

- HARRY R. JONES.
